Winning apps built for the Windows RT platform to be awarded up to $200,000 in cash prizes

SAN DIEGO – June 27, 2012 – Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced at Uplinq 2012 the Windows® RT Metro Style AppDeveloper Contest, to identify the most promising app for Windows RT devices. The Windows RT Metro Style App Developer Contest is open to legal residents of the United States of America and the District of Columbia who are 18 years or older. The developers of the winning apps will be awarded up to $200,000 in cash prizes. Contest categories include best overall Windows RT app, most compelling connectivity use case, best gaming app, best productivity app and best AllJoyn™ peer-to-peer application.

Entrants’ submitted apps will be evaluated by a panel of experts based on merits such as technology innovation and market potential.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon™ processor offers the ideal support for a broad range of apps for Microsoft Corp’s new Metro style interface, while also ensuring that new and unique experiences like proximity-based peer-to-peer will be available to consumers at launch.

Qualcomm is also collaborating with Microsoft to make Qualcomm Snapdragon test PCs for Windows RT available to select developers, allowing them to test their Metro style apps on a physical Windows RT device to ensure optimisation. Application developers can take advantage of the proven gaming performance from Qualcomm’s Adreno™ graphics and market-leading LTE connectivity for the development of next-generation mobile-enabled solutions on Snapdragon test PCs.

“Qualcomm and Microsoft are working together to prioritise the needs of the developer community as we move closer to seeing Windows RT devices in the hands of consumers,” said Luis Pineda, senior vice president of product management at Qualcomm. “The Windows RT Metro Style App Developer Contest will enable the developer community to create vivid and immersive apps upon launch of the Windows Store.”

“Windows RT opens up a new era for hardware manufacturers, app developers and consumers by making everything you love about your smartphone available in brand new designs that offer all day battery life and on-the-go connectivity,” said Aidan Marcus, senior director of Windows Core Marketing and Ecosystem at Microsoft. “Collaborating with Qualcomm, we are working to expand the Windows platform and developer ecosystem, helping to create a rich new set of experiences for Windows RT.”

The Windows RT Metro Style AppDeveloper Contest is now open for submissions until 1 October 2012. Additional details, including candidate eligibility and submission guidelines, are available at developer.qualcomm.com/win8contest.
